Qu Chardonnay 2011

The 2011 Qu Chardonnay is aged for 10 months in French oak, 30% new. It is a little muted on the nose with light notes of green apple, white peach and dried honey aromas that unfurl nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with peach and lime notes on the entry. It is very composed with well-integrated new oak (30%) that lends weight to the attractive, peach and mango-inspired finish that has a pleasant viscous texture. This is very fine. Drink now-2016. Score - 91. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2012)
